The night temperature in early summer is still very low. In the dilapidated temple with air leaks everywhere, burning fires dispel the cold air.

Yang Fan and the others had rich experience in staying overnight in the wild. When the rain stopped, they took the quilts off the car and spread them on the oilcloth next to each other.It was late at night, and after the night watchmen were arranged, everyone went to bed.

Yang Fan and Lin Mozhu slept in the inner position, with soft quilts and blankets under their bodies, so they were not cold at all.Lin Mozhu leaned against Yang Fan's arms, with his eyes closed but not sleepy.Knowing that he was not asleep, Yang Fan patted him lightly like coaxing a child.Two servant girls slept next to them, and the others scattered around them.

The night was dark, and Yang Fan and Lin Mozhu both fell asleep before they knew it.Gradually, the only sound left in the temple was the breathing of everyone sleeping soundly, and some people were breathing too loudly.

Liu Dayong and a member of the guard guarded the first half of the night. They gathered around the fire and played cards to pass the time.The night is long, and the night watch is the most boring, but since Yang Fan invented playing cards, with this entertainment, it is much better for them to go out to watch the night.Playing cards alone was boring, so the two grabbed a handful of copper coins and bet.

Yang Fan has a rule that gambling is allowed, but except for Chinese New Year entertainment, the bet cannot exceed five cents at other times.The guards usually bet only a penny, and those who won in one night won only thirty or fifty pennies at most.The people in the guards got along well, and most of the time, those who won would give the money they won to the big guys to buy wine or meat to share.

The two played cards and did not talk for fear of waking others.There was snoring everywhere in the ruined temple, and the crackling sound of burning firewood from time to time.

The two fought back and forth for several rounds, and the amount of copper coins in front of them kept changing.Someone behind him turned over and got up rustlingly.Then the figure came over and patted Liu Dayong on the shoulder.

"Go to sleep, I'll watch over it instead." It was Qi Ming who had already woken up from a nap.

Seeing the captain get up, the team member asked reluctantly, "How about I continue to play cards with the captain?"

Qi Ming kicked him lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Haven't you hit enough? Go to sleep, if you don't get enough sleep, don't fall off while riding the horse tomorrow."

The team members put the copper coins into their pockets with a smile, got up and went to lie down where Qi Ming had just slept.Liu Dayong didn't go to sleep right away, but went out first to relieve himself.

The night sky outside was full of stars, Liu Dayong looked up at the night sky that was as bright as the Milky Way, thinking that tomorrow should be a good weather.When he came back, Qi Ming had already sat in his seat.The two made a gesture, and Liu Dayong went to leave a place for him, and lay down

Liu Dayong slept in the outermost position, and the couple and child were asleep within an arm's length of him.They seemed to be sleeping soundly. Liu Dayong's movement was a bit loud, but they didn't wake them up.

Qi Ming took out Yang Fan's pocket watch and checked the time. It was already three o'clock in the morning and it was very late at night.

In the long night, time passed bit by bit.Qi Ming leaned against the pillar, the firewood burning in front of him hadn't been added for a long time, the side face of his face was illuminated by the fire light, and he sat there motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, someone stood up and made a noise.Qi Ming turned his head, it was the husband of the couple.The two looked at each other, just nodded at each other and moved away.The man got up, as if he was going to relieve himself, and walked outside the temple.

When his figure disappeared into the night, Liu Dayong, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly jumped up, leaned forward lightly and delicately, and took away the child in the arms of the sleeping woman beside him.The woman was not asleep at first, and opened her eyes the moment she was disturbed.But before he got up, he was kicked over by Liu Dayong, and the woman screamed instantly.

In the dark night outside the temple, the man walked to a small tree and untied his belt to release water.Suddenly he heard a woman screaming from the temple, but his first reaction was not to go back to check the situation, but he instinctively lifted his pants and wanted to escape.It's a pity that Qi Ming had already come behind him silently at some point, and when he realized that he was about to run away, he fell forward, and his arms precisely caught his neck, clamping him down.

The man is also a trainer, so he quickly counterattacked.He was very strong, and when he broke free from Qi Ming's shackles, he still wanted to draw a weapon from his arms, and it was a bit difficult for Qi Ming to fight him alone.Fortunately, the rest of the guards had arrived and helped capture him together.

Inside the temple, everyone was woken up by the woman's scream.When the three fatty men woke up, they saw Liu Dayong and the others pressing the woman to the ground and tying her up with a rope.The fat man was frightened half to death, his face was pale, he looked at the woman beside him who had rolled his eyes and passed out, and then at the coachman who was as pale as him, and said tremblingly: "Strong, strong man, one, everything ,

Okay, okay, okay, discuss. "

Liu Dayong and the others ignored him and tied up the woman.

"What are you doing? Is there any law?" The woman cursed hoarsely while struggling, her dialect mixed with official words, "I want to report to the officials! You are breaking the law! Bandits! Bandits!"

Nobody paid any attention to her.Lin Mozhu, who had already woken up, took the child that Liu Dayong handed over, and checked him.Sure enough, in order to prevent the child from crying, they fed the child with drugs similar to drugs.

Lin Mozhu glared fiercely at the woman who was still yelling, if such a young child was accidentally given too much medicine, he would immediately become stupid or even disappointed.

"Qingyu, pour me a bowl of water!" Lin Mozhu quickly took out the detoxification pill from his arms.With such a big ball, the child can't eat it, so the medicine should be dissolved in water and fed to the child.

Chunhua and Qiuyue were also woken up, looking at each other in blank dismay.Like the fat man and the other three, they didn't know what happened. They just saw Lin Mozhu holding the child in one hand and taking the medicine in the other, so they hurried over to help.

On the other side, the guards who ran out to help Qi Ming also came back, bringing the man who was tied up with five flowers.The man was still yelling: "Who are you and what are you going to do? Do you want money? Our husband and wife are just ordinary people, and we really have no money."

No one responded to him, Qi Ming touched the corner of his mouth, which was now bruised, and pushed him to the ground.Then he handed the dagger found on him to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan held the dagger, the sharp blade gleamed coldly under the light of the fire.Standing in front of the couple who were thrown on the ground, Yang Fan followed his lower body, gestured with the dagger, and smiled at the couple: "Tell me, where did the child come from?"

"We don't understand what you're talking about." The man looked up, with a sad and indignant expression on his face, and accused: "We husband and wife have no grievances or enmity with you, you robbed our children, and you want to harm us! Do you still have justice?"

Yang Fan sneered, "It doesn't matter if you don't answer, I'm not interested anyway. When we send both of you and your child to the government tomorrow, they will naturally interrogate you."

There was a trace of surprise on the man's face, he looked up at Yang Fan, he moved his lower lip, and finally closed his mouth and said nothing.

Say.

Yang Fan was really not interested in interrogating them, so he asked someone to take a piece of cloth and gag the mouth of the woman who was still cursing.Looking at the pocket watch, there were still two hours before dawn, so he said to everyone: "Thanks for your hard work, you all go to sleep for a while."

Still leaving two guards to guard the night and watch the couple, the others returned to their original positions one after another, preparing to take a nap.Lin Mozhu handed over the sleeping child after taking the medicine to Chunhua and Qiuyue to take care of them. The two maids had realized that the couple were human traffickers. They gave them a vicious look, and then hugged the child to rest in distress.

The three of the fat man shrank in the corner and continued to tremble.Looking at the couple tied up by five flowers, and looking at Yang Fan and his party who completely ignored their existence, the fat man really didn't know who to trust, and he didn't know what to do next.

Sleeping, it is impossible for them to sleep again; leaving, it is still dark outside, and there is no way to hurry, and I am afraid that this group of people will not let them go like this; staying, he is afraid that they will be fierce again Dafa, kill them all.

At this moment, the fat man regretted why he didn't pass out together.

Seeing a group of people going to sleep, what to do, the fat man swallowed his saliva and shrank back in the corner, hoping that these people would continue to ignore his existence.Qingyu of the night watchman couldn't help laughing when he saw that such a big fat man was shrinking into a meat ball.

Yang Fan and the others didn't sleep long before they were woken up by the crying of the child.Before dawn, Yang Fan looked at his pocket watch, it was five o'clock in the morning, saw the child sobbing in Chunhua's arms, and knew that there was no way to go back to sleep.

Lin Mozhu also woke up, examined the child, and knew that it was a sequela left by the drug.Such a small child can't express his physical discomfort and can only cry.After thinking for a while, he said to the two servant girls, "Get him some warm water."

After feeding the child with water, the two maids went to prepare breakfast for everyone, and Lin Mozhu and Yang Fan took over the work of coaxing the child.After crying for a long while, the child finally got tired, hugged the cat puppet, and sobbed in Lin Mozhu's arms.

While making breakfast for everyone, the two maids also specially made a bowl of custard for the child to feed him.Finally, the child has a good appetite, and after eating, he will be more energetic.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone had breakfast, it was dawn outside.Now that they were all awake, Yang Fan decided to continue on his way.

The three fat people saw that Yang Fan and his party still ignored them and left just like that, they were surprised but also rejoiced that they survived the catastrophe.When I saw that the carriages had all driven out of the ruined temple, I couldn't see the shadow.

"Mister, Mr., they, are they really gone?" the woman asked the fat man in disbelief.

The fat man swallowed, and hurriedly got up from the ground: "Let's go too!" Who knows if those bandits will come back again?

After being frightened all night, the fat man's legs are now weak. With his weight, he staggered several times before he could stand still.The woman's feet were also trembling, and she and the fat man supported each other and climbed into the carriage.At the same time, he kept urging the coachman: "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go!"
